PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 



The first edition of this Formulary was 
issued a little oyer one year ago, as an exper- 
iment, the author thinking that perhaps such 
a work would prove serviceable to Druggists. 
The result has been far beyond any expecta- 
tions that were conceived for its success ; — 
a large edition having been exhausted, and 
so many flattering and commendatory letters 
received, — that the author is encouraged to 
issue this new and enlarged edition. 

In this second edition, many new formulae 
have been introduced, and many new and valua- 
ble labor-saving processes have been given, and 
the author trusts that his patrons will find 
everything complete, thorough, and expe- 
dient. Trusting that the formulae may tend to 
the advancement of Pharmaceutical Science, 
as well as to the pecuniary benefit of the 
druggist, the author remains, very respect- 
fully, 

August, 1875. B. FENNER.

ARGUMENT. 
Elegant Preparations. 

This class of preparations have grown 
rapidly in public favor, because they aim to 
meet a public want, — the want of reliable, 
efficient remedies, in palatable and elegant 
form. The market is flooded with prepara- 
tions of this class, having more or less of 
merit, according to the integrity and capabil- 
ity of the manufacturer, but they have no uni- 
formity either in composition, color, elegance 
or reliability, and the physician who pre- 
scribes, the druggist who dispenses, or the 
patient who takes them, has no guarantee 
that they contain what they claim, and no 
remedy for harmful or useless results. 

The aim of these Formulae is to place in 
the hands of the druggist, reliable instruc- 
tions and directions for preparing this class 
of remedies, that they may know what they 
are dispensing, and be able to assure physi- 
cians and patrons that their preparations 
contain what they represent. Trusting that 
this end may be accomplished, and that these 
Formulae may meet this general want among 
druggists, the author respectfully submits the 
following pages.

INTRODUCTION. 



These Introductory pages are intended to 
give general directions and instructions for 
manipulating the various Pharmaceutical pro- 
ducts, known as Elegant Preparations. 
Special processes or directions will be given 
under the formulae in which they may occur. 
Everything that is now in general use 
throughout the country, in the line of Ele- 
gant Preparations, is comprised in this For- 
mulary. New, or Special Formulae will be 
furnished upon application b}^ letter to the 
author. 

Blank pages are left after each section for 
the insertion of such new or special formula 
as may be desired by the druggist. The in- 
structions and formulae are all numbered, 
and particular attention must be paid to the 
figures in parenthesis, throughout the work, 
as they refer to the various processes or 
articles to be employed. Follow the instruc- 
tions and formulae closely, and if any diffi- 
culty should be experienced in any of them, 
write to the author for instructions, stating 
the difficulty clearly and distinctly.

THE SELECTION, PRESERVATION, 
AND PREPARATION. 

1. Selection of Drugs. 

Without good material it is of course im- 
possible to produce good results ; you cannot 
expect to make a good simple elixir from in- 
ferior or worthless oils, nor can you expect 
to produce so good an Elixir of Calisaya 
Bark from an article that costs only 20 or 30 
cents a pound, as from one that is worth five 
times that amount. 

Never try to work up worthless or spoiled 
material into an elegant preparation. 

2. The Flavoring Oils, 

especially the Oil of Orange, should be kept 
in a cool, dark place and in colored bottles. 
The Flavoring when made up will keep per- 
fectly under ordinary treatment for any length 
of time. 

Buy your flavoring oils and chemicals of a 
house of established reputation, and submit 
them then to the test of your judgment be- 
fore using them. 

3. Preparations containing Iron, 

should be kept in colored bottles, and not ex- 
posed to the direct ravs of the sun. 

(9) 



10 fenner's formulary. 

4. The Bases of tli® Preparations most 
commonly nseds 

Elixir, (simple), Elixir Calisaya, Elixir 
Gentian, Elixir Pepsin, &c, shonlcl be kept 
on hand in quantity, their various combina- 
tions can then be made up in a short time. 
It is unnecessary to keep large quantities of 
any but those in most common use, prepared, 
as most of them can be made up while a cus- 
tomer is waiting. 



PERCOLATION. 
5. Percolation 

is the process generally employed for obtain- 
ing the strength of Roots, Barks, Herbs, &c, 
although maceration may generally be em- 
ployed by those who prefer it. The follow- 
ing in regard to percolation, from the U. S. 
Pharmacopoeia, is inserted here for reference : 

"The substance to be subjected to percolation, after 
having been reduced by sifting to a uniform powder of 
the fineness indicated in the formula, is to be put into 
a basin," and rubbed with a portion of the menstruum 
" until uniformly moistened." 

" A portion of the powder is now to be carefully 
placed upon the diaphragm " (a piece of cotton or cloth 
in the neck of the percolator) "and pressed gently until 
the muslin, resting against the sides of the percolator, 
just above the neck, is covered with a uniform layer. 
The remainder of the powder is then to be transferred 



11 



to the percolator and compressed evenly and firmly, 
and the leveled surface covered with a circular piece 
of moistened muslin or paper, so that the liquid poured 
upon it may penetrate equably and not disarrange the 
powder." 

" The percolator being now properly supported with 
its neck in a bottle previously marked, for the quan- 
tity or quantities of liquid to be percolated, the men- 
struum is to be poured on until the space above is 
nearly filled ; and a layer of it must be constantly 
maintained above the powder, so as to prevent the 
access of air to its interstices, until all has been added, 
or until the requisite quantity of percolate has been 
obtained." 

6. The Proper Fineness of X>rngs 

requiring percolation, in these preparations, 
is given in each formula. The fineness indi- 
cated can be ascertained by reference to the 
Pharmacopoeia or Dispensatoiy. 

They may be, either ground, powdered in 
a mortar, or bought of a wholesale druggist, 
of the required fineness for percolation. Very 
fine powders cannot be profitably nor con- 
veniently employed for percolating. 



TJSIXG FLUID EXTRACTS. 

7. Flnicl Extracts of ReliaMe Hake 

may be used instead of drugs in these prepa- 
rations, although their use, unless the drug- 
gist prepares them, is not recommended, on 
account of their uncertainty and expense. 



12 tenner's formulary. 

As each fluid-ounce of a Fluid Extract is 
intended to represent a troy ounce of the 
drug, the same fluid measure as is indicated 
of troy weight, should be used when they are 
adopted. 

DISSOLVING. 
8. Citrate of Bismuth and Ammonium 

(Soluble Citrate of Bismuth) should be 
rubbed down in a mortar, and then dissolved 
by adding two drachms of Hot Water to 
each drachm of the Salt, and Water of Am- - 
monia, drop by drop, until the solution is 
clear. Use no more Water of Ammonia than 
is necessary for this result. 

This Salt must be thus dissolved before 
adding to the menstruum. 

a. If, after standing, any precipitate oc- 
curs, in preparations containing this salt, a 
little Water of Ammonia added will usually 
dissolve it. 

b. Any acid precipitates solutions con- 
taining this salt, hence, care must be taken 
that the elixirs, etc., with which it is com- 
bined, have no excess of acid. 

c. A formulae for a solution of this salt, 
convenient for combining with elixirs, etc., 
will be found among the solutions. (601). 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 13 

9. Citrate of Iron and Ammonium. 

(Soluble Citrate of Iron) dissolves readily 
in hot water, and generally in cold water. 
Use two drachms to each drachm of the 
salt. If the Iron does not dissolve readily 
in the water, add a few drops of "Water of 
Ammonia. 

a. Citrate of Iron and Quinia, Citrate 
of Iron and Strychnia, and other combina- 
tions of the Citrate of Iron, are dissolved in 
the same manner ; Ammonia must not, how- 
ever, be added to the combinations containing 
Quinia. 

These salts must be thus dissolved before 
adding to the menstruum. 

b. A formula for a solution of Citrate of 
Iron and Ammonium, convenient for com- 
bining with Elixirs, etc., will be found among 
the Solutions. (603). 

10. Pyrophosphate of Iron 

is best dissolved by agitating with two 
drachms hot water to each drachm of the 
salt ; the heat should be continued until the 
solution is complete. 

It can also be dissolved readily, by rubbing 
line with an equal bulk of sugar, in a mortar, 
and adding cold water in the same propor- 
tions as above. If the Pyrophosphate has 



14 tenner's formulary. 

become old and dull in appearance, it is 
sometimes necessary to add a few drops of 
Water of Ammonia, to make the solution 
clear, 

a. An excess of acid precipitates solu- 
tions of this salt. 

This salt must be dissolved before adding 
to the menstruum. 

b. A formula for a solution of Pyrophos- 
phate of Iron, convenient for combining with 
Elixirs, etc., will be found among the Solu- 
tions. > (626). 

11. { Quinia Salts, 

unless otherwise directed in the formula, must 
be dissolved by rubbing in a mortar with 
separate portions of the menstruum, and 
allowing to stand until the solution is com- 
plete. The solution of Quinia Salts is 
facilitated by warming the menstruum to 
about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. 

a. When Citric Acid is used, the Quinia 
must first be rubbed with a portion of the 
menstruum, and then the acid, previously 
dissolved in a little water or elixir, added. 
Do not rub the acid with the Quinia before 
dissolving, nor add its solution to the Quinia 
until the Quinia is first rubbed up with a 
portion of the menstruum. 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 15 

b When Water of Ammonia is added to 
neutralize the acid in the solutions, care must 
be taken to add just enough, and no more, 
as an excess of Ammonia precipitates the 
Quinia. This can be ascertained by testing 
with test paper, or usually by observing the 
solution as you add the Ammonia. It should 
be added drop by drop, until the solution 
loses its blue color or tint, and becomes 
clear and transparent. The Aqua Ammonia 
should be mixed with about twice as much 
Elixir before adding to the Solutions. 

IS. French Quiuia 

dissolves readily in the elixir, syrup, or water, 
without the addition of any acid ; if this is 
used, omit the Acid and Ammonia in formulae 
where their use is directed. 

13. Strychnia Salts 

must be dissolved by rubbing in a mortar, 
with separate portions of the menstruum, or 
with hot water. 

a. When combining Strychnia with other 
preparations, be sure that it is all dissolved 
before adding the other ingredients. 

b. As an extra precaution, all preparations 
containing Strychnia should be filtered after 
it is added. 



16 fenner's formulary. 



c. A formula for a solution of Sulphate 
of Strychnia, convenient for combining with 
Elixirs, etc., will be found among the Solu- 
tions. (627). 

14. Salts In Crystals, 

like Bromide of Potassium, etc., should be 
made fine in a mortar, before adding to the 
menstruum. 

15. Other Salts 

mentioned in the formulas, are readily soluble 
in the menstruum ; wherever difficulty might 
be expected, definite directions are given in 
the formulse. 



FILTERING. 
16. Too mucin Importance 

cannot be attached to this process, as upon 
it depends the elegant appearance and bril- 
liancy of the preparations. It is but little 
trouble to filter nearly everything in the line 
of Elegant Preparations, and the result amply 
repays the outlay of time. The porcelain 
filter holder, and the wire filter rack, are 
very useful adjuncts to the process of filtering, 
and substances may be filtered very rapidly 
by their use. In absence of these conven- 



IT 



iences, some sticks or pipe-stems put inside 
the funnel, will keep the filtering paper from 
" hugging " the funnel, and greatly facilitate 
the process. 

17. For Filtering Elixirs, Wines, Solu- 

tions, etc., 

the ordinary filtering paper should be used. 
For filtering Grlycerites, Syrups, etc., the 
ordinary flannel filter is the best. 

18. In Removing Tannin, 

the elixir treated should first be filtered 
through a muslin filter, as it is mucn more 
expeditious. 

19. Elixir Pepsin, 

made from the stomachs, should be run 
through a muslin filter several times before 
filtering through paper. 

20. All Preparations with which Strych- 

nia are comMneci, 

should be filtered after the Strychnia is 
added, as a precaution against accident. 



18 fenner's formulary. 

REMOVING TANNIN". 

21. First Process. 

Take the required amount of Albumen 
(white of egg), as is directed in each formula 
in which it is desired to remove the Tannin, 
and beat it with a portion of the elixir being 
treated, to mix it thoroughly ; add the balance 
of the elixir, shake ; and allow to stand four 
daj'S, shaking up every day; then filter 
through muslin or paper, (18) pouring back 
into the filter again, the first portion that 
runs through. 

22. Owing to tlae difference in the Qual- 

ity of lOrugs, 

it may be that the designated quantity of Al- 
bumen would not be enough to remove all 
the Tannin ; this can be readily ascertained 
by testing a little of the elixir, after filtering 
with Tincture Muriate of Iron ; if Tannin 
be present, it will show an inky color, and 
must be treated with a little more Albumen, 
as before. This process removes all the 
Tannin, and if the amount of Albumen was 
just enough to remove it, and no more, it 
will require no further treatment, but if the 
elixir should cloud, or precipitate, after 
standing, it is on account of an excess of 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 19 

Albumen, which must be removed by the 
following : 

23. Second Process. 

Add the designated amount of Citric Acid, 
and allow to stand four days, shaking every 
day, then filter through paper. 

24. It sometimes occurs 

that the designated amount of Citric Acid is 
not quite enough to precipitate all the excess 
of Albumen, as mentioned in 23 ; in that case, 
the elixirs will cloud up after filtering, and a 
little more Citric Acid must be added, the 
preparation be allowed to stand two or three 
days, and again filtered ; should it then be 
much " acid," it must be filtered through 
Carbonate of Magnesium. This process re- 
moves the excess of Albumen, and the prep- 
aration is ready for use. 

25. The Excess of Albumen 

may be more expeditiously removed by heat- 
ing the preparation containing it to boiling, 
for a moment after adding the Citric Acid, 
which coagulates the albumen, and then fil- 
tering. 

The Prepared Flavoring must not be added 
until after it is thus removed. 



20 fenner's formulary. 

COLORING. 

26. It is not Desirable 

to color Hiany of the preparations for which 
formulas are given, as the natural colors 
usually suffice, and it is difficult always to 
get the same shade of color when it is at- 
tempted. The process for coloring is given, 
however, in the formulae for preparations 
that are usually colored by manufacturers, 
and formulae for coloring solutions will be 
found among the Solutions. '604, 605). 



WEIGHTS AXD MEASURES. 

27. Troy Weight 

is the standard adopted in these formulas, in 
conformity to the acknowledged authorities. 
The Troy ounce contains 480 grains, and the 
Avoirdupois ounce only 437-J grains. The 
druggist can readily convert the Avoirdupois 
into Troy weight, by adding 4 2 J grains to 
each Avoirdupois ounce. 

The measure used is the ordinary Liquid 
or "Wine Measure, 

Each pint containing 16 fluid-ounces, 
" ounce " 8 " drachms, 

" drachm " 60 minims. 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC. 21 

DOSES. 

28. The Ordinary Boses 

of the preparations are mentioned under 
each one in stating the quantity or quan- 
tities of the medicinal agent that a designated 
amount contains ; for example, under Elixir 
Calisa}^a Bark, and Pyrophosphate of Iron, 
" each fluid-drachm contains 5 grains Cali- 
saya Bark, 2 grains Iron," it is understood 
that a fluid-drachm, or teaspoonful is the or- 
dinary dose. 



22 fenner's formulary. 

FLAVORING. 

29. Flavoring. 

Take of Oil of Orange, 4 ounces, 

" Caraway Seed 2 drachms, 
" Coriander " 2 " 
" Cassia, 2 " 

(or True Oil of Cinnamon, 1 drachm) 
Oil of Anise, 1 drachm. 

Alcohol, enough to make 20 ounces, mix 
the Oils, and dissolve them with the Alcohol. 
This flavoring is used only in making the 
Prepared Flavoring, the Elixir, and the 
Flavored Syrup. It is necessary that only 
the best quality of Oils be used. (1). 

The Oil of Sweet Orange is the best 
and cheapest ; the Oil of Caraway Seed must 
be used, and not the Oil of Caraway Chaff 
that is generally sold. The True Oil of 
Cinnamon makes the finest flavor, but the 
Oil of Cassia will answer. When dissolved 
in the Alcohol as directed, the Flavoring 
will keep for any length of time. See 2, in 
regard to the preservation of the Oils, etc. 

30. Prepared Flavoring. 

Take of Flavoring (29), 2 \ ounces, 

Carbonate of Magnesium, 1 ounce, 
Alcohol, 5 ounces, 

Water, 10 " 



PREPARATION OF ELIXIRS, ETC 23 



Hub the Flavoring with the Magnesium in 
a mortar, add part of the Water and Alcohol 
previously mixed, triturate thoroughly, and 
filter; then add through the filter the re- 
maining Alcohol and Water, and enough Di- 
luted Alcohol, if necessary, to make the meas- 
ure one pint. This Prepared Flavoring will be 
found very convenient to use in preparations 
where it is desired to obtain the strength of 
drugs, or remove the Tannin, as also in 
Syrups, etc., and will be referred to, by num- 
ber, through the Formulary. The flavor is 
much better obtained in this manner than 
when the elixir is used as a percolate. 

The Prepared Flavoring is used, one ounce 
in each pint of the desired preparation. 



24 tenner's formulary. 

ELIXIRS. 

31. In these Preparations, 

a Simple or Cordial Elixir is used as the 
base, in the same manner as Water is nsed in 
dissolving salts, Diluted Alcohol in making- 
tinctures, or Simple Syrup in making syrups. 
This base is designated in these pages as 
Elixir ; manufacturers call it Simple Elixir, 
Cordial Elixir, Curacoa Cordial, and various 
other names. 

32. Care must be talsen 

in the selection of the materials that enter 
into the composition of these preparations, 
remembering always that good results cannot 
be obtained from poor material. (1.) It is 
also necessary to be careful, cleanly, and 
exact in making them, so that the results 
obtained may please your customers and 
yourselves. 

33. Any Special Combination 

or preparation may be made up in the form 
of an elixir, at the will and judgment of the 
druggist, the Elixir being compatible with 
anything that might be desired in that form. 



ELIXIRS. 25 



34. Elixir. 

Take of Flavoring (29) 1 ounce, 

Alcohol, 38 ounces, 

Water, 4J pints, 

Sugar, (Avoir, weight) 2^ lbs, 

Carbonate of Magnesium, -| ounce. 

Mix two ounces of the Alcohol with the 
Flavoring, and rub in a mortar with the 
Carb. Magnesium, mix the balance of the 
Alcohol with the water, triturate two pints 
of the mixture with the Flavoring and Mas:- 
nesium in the mortar, and filter into the re- 
maining Alcohol and Water ; then dissolve 
in the liquid, the sugar, by agitation, and 
filter the whole through the same filter, to 
make the preparation clear and brilliant. If 
it is desired to flavor the Elixir more, it can 
be readily done by using more of the flavor- 
ing, and, if necessary, a corresponding amount 
of Carb. Magnesium. The elixir will keep 
perfectly for any length of time, and is im- 
proved by age. If Cologne Spirit, of the 
same proof as Alcohol, is used instead of 
Alcohol, a finer flavor will be produced. 

The Elixir as above, is used as a solvent 
for various salts, and as a vehicle for various 
solutions, etc., and may be used as a perco- 
late, but when it is desired to obtain the 



26 FENNER/S FORMULARY. 

strength of a drug by percolation or macera- 
tion, it is better to proceed as in the follow- 
ing articles, 35 and 36. 

35. Percolating Menstruum. 

Take of Alcohol, 38 ounces, 

Water, 4J pints. 

Mix and filter through a little Carb. Mag- 
nesium. 

This is used merely as a percolate, as the 
strength of the drug is better obtained, and 
the flavor of the Elixir better preserved by 
adding the sugar and flavoring after the per- 
colation and removal of Tannin. 

The proportion of Alcohol and Water is 
the same as in the Elixir, and after the other 
ingredients are added (36), it is essentially 
the same as the Elixir (34). 

36. In making an Elixir 

requiring percolation, take of the drug or 
drugs, the amount stated in the Formula : 
Percolating Menstruum enough 

to produce of the percolate 13 ounces, 
Sugar (Avoirdupois weight), 5 ounces, 

Prepared Flavoring, 1 ounce. 

Percolate the drugs with the Percolating 
Menstruum, as directed (5) until thirteen 
ounces have been obtained. Remove the 
Tannin (21, 22, 23, 24), if necessary ; then 



ELIXIRS. 21 



add the Sugar and the Prepared Flavor- 
ing (30) and enough of the Percolating Men- 
struum (35), if required, to make the measure 
one pint. Dissolve the sugar by agitation 
and filter. 

If only small quantities of the drug are 
used, it is not necessary to proceed in this 
manner, as the strength of the drugs would 
be exhausted with the Elixir. 

37. Elixir Acetate of Potassium. 

Take of Acetate of Potassium, 1280 grains 
(2§ Troy ounces), 
Elixir (34) enough to make 1 pint. 

Dissolve the Acetate in the Elixir, and 
filter. 

Each fluid-drachm contains ten grains 
Acetate of Potassium. 

38. Elixir Aconite Root. 

Take of Tincture Aconite Ptoot, 256 minims, 
Elixir enough to make 1 pint. 

Mix. Each fluid-drachm contains two 
minims Tincture Aconite Root. 

39. Elixir Anise. 

Take of Anise Seed, in fine powder, a Troy 
ounce. 
Elixir enough to make one pint. 



28 tenner's formulary. 

Percolate (5) the Anise with the Elixir 
until one pint is obtained, and filter. 
Dose one or two fluid-drachms. 

40. Elixir Arsenic. 

Take of Fowler's Solution of Arsenic, 640 
minims (1^ fluid-ounces), 
Elixir enough to make 1 pint. 

Mix and filter. 

Each fluid-drachm contains five minims 
Fowler's Solution. 

41. Elixir of Arsenic and Strychnia. 

Take of Sulphate of Strychnia, 2 grains, 
Elixir of Arsenic (40), 1 pint. 

Dissolve the Strychnia (13-627). Add the 
Elixir Arsenic, and filter. 

Each fluid-drachm contains five minims 
Fowler's Solution and one-sixty-fourth grain 
Strychnia. 

42. Elixir Arsenic and Qninia. 

Take of Sulphate of Quinia, 64 grains, 
Citric Acid, 10 grains, 

Fowler's Solution, 640 minims, 
Elixir enough to make 1 pint. 

Rub the Sulphate Quinia with a portion of 
the Elixir, and add the Citric Acid previ- 
ously dissolved (602), then add the balance 



ELIXIRS. 29 



of the Elixir, and allow to stand until the 
solution is perfectly clear (about two hours) ; 
lastly, add the Fowler's Solution, and filter. 
Each fluid-drachm contains five minims 
Fowler's Solution and one-half grain Quinia. 

43. Elixir Arsenic, Quinia and Strychnia. 

Take of Sulphate of Strj-chnia, 2 grains, 
Elixir, Arsenic and Quinia (42) 1 pint. 

Dissolve the Strychnia (13-62?), add the 
Elixir, and filter. 

Each fluid-drachm contains five minims 
Fowler's Solution, one-half grain Quinia,

Acid (23, 24), as directed, then add the Sugar

Each fluid-drachm contains five grains 
Calisaya Bark. 

Remark 1. — The Bark used in this Elixir, 
is the Yellow Cinchona or Calisaya Bark, 
and is worth from 90 cents to $1.30 per 
pound (1875). 

Other species may be used for making 
Elixirs of Cinchona, but this Bark meets 
the general requirements better than any 
other, as it contains less astringent proper- 
ties and more of the valuable alkaloids than 
any other variety. 

It should be bought either whole, or ground 
to the proper fineness, for percolation, the 
powdered Bark cannot be advantageously 
used. 

Remark 2. — The quantity of Albumen re- 
quired depends, of course, upon the amount 
of astringent that the Bark contains. 

The amount designated — one ounce in each 
pint — is about the average quantity required. 
Some species, however, require less, and 
some, if thoroughly exhausted, require more. 
The quantity can be regulated by the general 
directions (21, 22).

Remark 3 — Most of the manufacturers do 
not use the Baik at all, in making Elixirs of 
Calisaya or Cinchona, but employ the al- 
kaloids. Formulae for the preparations made 
in this manner are given (6$, etc.) 

Coloring. — This Elixir, when it is desired 
to dispense as Ulixir Calisaya, may be col- 
ored with a little Carmine Solution (605) and 
Caramel (604), but must be left uncolored 
for its combinations.

stand until dissolved and entirely clear (11, a.) ; 
then add enough Water of Ammonia to neu- 
tralize the Acid (11, b). 

Each fluid-drachm represents five grains 
Calisaya. 



40 penner's formulary. 

Coloring. — For dispensing as Elixir Cal- 
isaya or Cinchona, color with a little Car- 
mine Solution (G05) and Caramel (604^, but 
leave uncolored for the combinations. 

Remark. — This Elixir maybe used instead 
of 65, either as a simple Elixir of ^Calisaya, 
or in its combinations, although its use is not 
generally recommended, as it is not a true 
Elixir of Calisaya Bark. It represents, how- 
ever, most of the crystallizable Salts of the 
Bark, and in the same proportion as they are 
contained in a good quality of the Bark, viz., 
about 2^- per cent. It is a fine Elixir, very

EMULSIONS. 113 



EMULSIONS. 

240. An Emulsion 

is a mechanical mixture of an Oil, Balsam, 
or Resin, with a mucilage made of certain 
gums, Albumen, or some other vehicle ; or it 
may be a partial saponification of the Oil, 
Balsam, or Resin, by means of an alkali. 

241. Use of Eimilsiong. 

Emulsions are useful in rendering many 
nauseating medicines palatable, and in mi- 
nutely dividing the globules of Oil, etc., 
thereby assisting their digestion. 

Their success depends chiefly upon the 
skill with which they are prepared, and the 
quality of the ingredients used in their compo- 
sition. An agreeable preparation cannot be 
made from a rancid oil, nor a fine looking 
one from poor gum or alkali. 

212. Making Emulsions. 

The following general directions should be 
closely observed : 

The Mucilage Syrup must be sweet and 
fresh, and of a uniform consistency. 

Use a mortar of large enough capacity to 
contain all of the preparation that you desire 
to make, and a pestle with as broad aud flat 
a bottom as possible. 



114 fenner's formulary. 

Put the required amount of Mucilage 
Syrup in the mortar, and with the pestle rub 
it around the sides, so that the oil will not 
adhere. Add the oil very gradually, and only 
so fast as it is emulsified, by triturating with 
the Mucilage Syrup, continue the rubbing 
and adding of the oil until the required 
amount has been used, when if properly pre- 
pared, you will have a uniform pasty mass, in 
which no particles of oil are visible ; then add 
gradually, and with constant rubbing, the 
required amount of water, and put away in 
well stopped bottles, in a cool plaee. 

The emulsions, if properly prepared, will 
have a creamy color and consistence ; will 
show no particles of oil ; will keep without 
separation, and mix in any proportion with 
Water or Syrup. The mortar in which they 
are made will not be " greasy," and will wash 
readily in clear water. 

If the oil is added too rapidly, the paste 
becomes "oiled," and cannot be made into a 
fine emulsion. 

213. Acaeia Mucilage Syrup, 

Take of Best Gum Arabic, in coarse 

powder, 3 ounces, 

Warm Water, 8 ounces,

Dissolve the Gum Arabic in the Warm 
Water, and then the Sugar in the Solution 
with gentle heat. Strain through flannel or 
muslin, and put away in a cool place. 

Remark. — Whenever it is directed to use 
this Syrup, the following one, Tragacanth 
Mucilage Syrup, niay be used, if preferred.

and rubbing to a uniform paste in a mortar ; 
then add the Sugar, dissolve by gentle heat, 
strain through flannel or muslin and put away 
in a cool place.

the water and Sugar ; dissolve the Sugar by 
agitation, and filter. 



116 tenner's formulary. 

Remark. — The Stronger Lime Water may 
be used in making any simple emulsion de- 
sired, and is very convenient as it only re- 
quires to be shaken with the Oil or Balsam. 
It is better than any other alkali in these pre- 
parations. It is incompatible with acids.

ESSENCES, FLAVORING EXTRACTS, 
ETC. 

380. Formnlse for Essences, 

Flavoring Extracts, etc., are here intro- 
duced because of repeated inquiries for relia- 
ble formulae for their preparation. 

The author claims no special merit nor 
originality for these preparations, but pub- 
lishes them simply as reliable and economical. 
The formulae given for making such Spirits 
or Essences as are officinal, are not recom- 
mended in place of the formulae in the U. S. 
Dispensatory or Pharmacopoeia, but are 
given as producing more economical prepa- 
rations and in many cases those that will give 
better satisfaction to the trade. 

281. Process for making Essences, etc. 

Only the best quality of Flavoring Oils and 
Cologne Spirit or Alcohol must be used in 
making these preparations. 

The Oils must first be dissolved in about 
four times their bulk of the spirit, this is then 
to be rubbed thoroughly with the Carbonate 
of Magnesium in a mortar, the Sugar is then 
to be added and the balance of the Spirit and 
Water previously mixed to be gradually trit- 
urated with the mixture until it is of a uni- 



132 fenner's formulary. 

form consistenc}^, then it must be filtered 
through paper, and enough diluted Alcohol 
added through the filter to make the measure 
required, (1 pint). 

If it should not be perfectly clear after 
filtering, it must be again filtered and a little 
more Magnesium added if necessary to make 
clear. 

The Cologne Spirit used must be of the 
same proof as Alcohol. 

Alcohol may be used instead of ix> but the 
product will not be so finely flavored.

FLUID EXTRACTS. 
S30. Malting Fluid Extracts. 

Without attempting to give special form- 
ulae for Fluid Extracts, the author has here 
introduced the processes usually employed, 
that are available to the ordinary druggist, 
with such practical hints and suggestions as 
will enable a druggist of ordinary ability to 
prepare such Fluid Extracts as his trade may 
demand. 

The best Pharmacists through the country 
are now preparing their own Fluid Extracts, 
and it is to be earnestly hoped that others 
will follow their example, and that soon all 
the intelligent druggists in the land will be 
dispensing their own products instead of re- 
lying upon the assorted extracts of the manu- 
facturers, many of which are almost worth- 
less. 

331. The Processes Employed. 

The following processes are those usually 
employed, and the experience of the druggist 
must teach him which to adopt. In fact, no 
one process can be used to advantage in all 
cases, and some little experience may be re- 
quired to enable the druggist to select the 
one best suited to the drug being treated. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 149 

A close attention to the process, and to the 
following general hints, suggestions and di- 
rections will, it is hoped, aid the druggist in 
his choice. 

The same general directions are adaptable 
to nearly all the preparations, and they are 
divided into groups or classes according to 
the Menstruum required. 

Any Fluid Extract that is officinal is fol- 
lowed with the remark U. S. P., and reference 
should be made to the United States' Phar- 
macopoeia, although it may not always be 
advisable to follow the directions therein 
given as the use of glycerine as a portion of 
the percolate has been found objectionable by 
many thoroughly competent pharmacists. 

332. By Percolation and Evaporation. 

The following general directions from the 
United States' Pharmacopoeia, fpage 151), 
are quoted here for convenient reference : 

" The quantity of powdered material di- 
rected to be used in each of the following 
formulae is sixteen Troy ounces. 

" The powder is to be moistened with a spec- 
ified quantity of Menstruum, and properly 
packed in a suitable percolator. The surface 
of the powder is then to be covered with a 
disc of paper, and the remaining portion of 



150 fenner's formulary. 

sixteen fluid-ounces of Menstruum is to be 
poured upon it. When the liquid begins to 
drop from the percolator, close the lower or- 
ifice with a cork, and having closely covered 
the percolator, to prevent evaporation, set it 
aside in a moderately warm place for four 
days. 

" The cork is then to be removed. More 
Alenstruum is to be gradually poured on, and 
the percolation continued until twenty-four 
fluid-ounces have been obtained. Of these, the 
first fourteen fluid-ounces are to be reserved, 
and the remainder having been carefully 
evaporated to two fluid-ounces, is to be mixed 
with the reserved portion, and filtered through 
paper if necessaiy." 

The evaporation should be conducted at a 
temperature not exceeding 160 degrees, and 
some drugs, like Ipecac, etc., must not be 
heated to more than 140 degrees. 

S3S. By Kepereolation. 

The following is an abstract of Squibb's 
method of Fractional, or Repercolation : 

This process, although tedious, produces 
probably as valuable an extract as can be 
made by the druggist. Some skill and expe- 
rience is required in its use. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 151 

To make three pints of Fluid extract : 
First. — Take sixteen Troy ounces of the 
Drug, of proper fineness, and three pints of 
the Menstruum required. Moisten the Drug 
with six fluid ounces of the Menstruum, pack 
in a conical percolator, and percolate as di- 
rected (5) with the Menstruum, receiving the 
product as follows : 

a. 12 fluid-ounces — Reserved. 

b. 6 fluid-ounces. 

c. 8 fluid-ounces. 

d. 22 to 24 fluid-ounces. 

The last portion, d, is forced through by ad- 
ding Water to the Drug in the percolator. 

Second. — Take sixteen Troy ounces of the 
Drug, as before, moisten with b, pack, as be- 
fore, and percolate first with c, then with d, 
then add two ounces of the Menstruum, then 
four ounces more of the Menstruum, and 
Water to force the last portion through, re- 
ceiving the product as follows 

e. 16 fluid-ounces — Reserved. 

f. 6 fluid-ounces. 

g. 8 fluid-ounces, 
h. 10 fluid-ounces. 

Third. — Take the remaining sixteen Troy 
ounces of the Drug, and moisten with f, pack 
as before, and percolate first with g, then h 5 



152 tenner's formulary. 

then four ounces of the Menstruum, then 
four ounces more of the Menstruum, and 
Water to force the last portion through, re- 
ceiving the product as follows : 

i. 20 ounces — Reserved. 

j. 10 ounces — set aside 
to moisten the next batch of Fluid Extract 
of the same kind required. 

Fourth. — Mix the reserved portions, a, e 
and i, and filter, if necessary. 

334. By Pressure. 

The following is an abstract of N. Spencer 
Thomas' method of - extracting the strength 
of a Drug by pressure. 

Although this process does not entirely 
exhaust the medicinal strength of the Drug, it 
produces a better extract than most that are 
in the market : 

Fii^st. — Take sixteen Troy ounces of the 
Drug, of the proper fineness, and Menstruum 
sufficient. Moisten the drug with from six 
to ten fluid-ounces of the Menstruum (accord- 
ing to the nature of the Drug), and set aside 
in a wide mouth jar, or suitable covered ves- 
sel. Allow to stand four days, then press 
out as much as possible with a tincture press, 
and reserve the product. 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 153 

Second, — Moisten the Drug, as before, with 
from five to eight ounces of the Menstruum. 
Allow to stand, and press out, as before, ad- 
ding the product to the portion before re- 
served. 

Third — Repeat the second process, adding 
the product to the portions before reserved. 

Fourth. — Repeat the second process, but 
so regulate the last amount of Menstruum 
added as to make one pint of the Fluid Ex- 
tract when added to the portions before re- 
served. Filter, if necessary. 

335. General Hints and Suggestions. 

The process of Fractional Percolation 
(333), and making by pressure (334), will be 
found most economical, as nearly the entire 
amount of spirit used is recovered. 

336. Tne Fineness of tne Brug 

requisite for percolation can generally be as- 
certained by reference to the Dispensatory 
or Pharmacopoeia. When directions cannot 
be found in regard to that, the druggist can 
judge for himself from analogy. 

337. Mucilaginous Drugs 

require a larger proportion of Alcohol than 
most of those not possessing that property. 



154 fenner's formulary. 

as the Water " softens " them, and thereby 
hinders percolation. Pressure is best for 
most of them, and also for bulky drugs. 

338. Drugs possessing Resinous Princi- 

ples 

are more readily exhausted by adding a 
small quantity of Sulphuric Ether to the 
Menstruum, say one ounce in each pint of 
the Menstruum used. 

339. Warm Menstruum* 

It is advantageous to warm the Menstruum 
before adding it ; also to keep the Drug in a 
warm place during the process of percolation 
or maceration. 

340. Drugs containing Volatile Oil 

should be kept as much as possible from the 
air during the process of exhaustion, and 
should not be subjected to heat in making 
their Fluid Extracts. 

341. If Pressure is Employed, 

the Drugs must be enclosed in a coarse can- 
vas cloth or bag before putting in the press. 
The pressure should be gradual and long con- 
tinued, that the moisture may be as nearly as 
possible extracted from the Drug. A one 



FLUID EXTRACTS. 155 

gallon Tincture Press will answer very well 
for most extracts. 

342. Using Glycerine. 

If evaporation is employed, one ounce of 
Glycerine should be added to the portion to 
be evaporated, in all extracts where the Men- 
struum is part Water. 

843. Acetic or Mnriatic Acids 

may sometimes be added in small amounts 
to the percolate, in extracts that tend to 
throw down a precipitate. 

344. In Packing the Percolator, 

it is well to let the Drug remain in the basin 
with the portion of Menstruum used for 
moistening it, for a few hours, so that it may 
" swell," and not hinder the percolation. 

345. The Percolator. 

Conical or short cylindrical percolators, 
with a conical bottom, are best adapted for 
Fluid Extracts. 

Gallon tin cans, of proper shape, with the 
bottoms round, make convenient percolators, 
and can be used for most any of the prepa- 
rations. 



156 tenner's formulary. 

A wire-cloth diaphragm may be put on top 
of the disc of paper, and a weight on that, if 
necessary, to keep the Drug in place. 

S46. For Maceration. 

When pressure is to be used, earthenware 
jars, with small mouth and cover, can be used 
to advantage ; put a cloth between the cover 
and jar to prevent evaporation. 

The Drugs should be stirred up every day 
while macerating. 

317. Filtering Fluid Extracts. 

Fluid Extracts are best filtered through a 
muslin strainer, or paper ; some filter readily 
through paper, while others, especially those 
from mucilaginous drugs, are very slowly fil- 
tered through paper, and should be filtered 
through muslin. 

In making up larger quantities, it is best 
to let the sediment settle to the bottom, by 
allowing to stand, and pour off the clear 
extract. 

Many Fluid Extracts, as well as Tinctures, 
precipitate by standing in the light, and 
should be kept in dark-colored bottles.

SOLUTIONS. 187 



SOLUTIONS, ETC. 

600. The Solutionis 

for which Formulae are here given, are 
chiefly used to combine with other prepa- 
rations, and reference is made to them hy 
numbers throughout the Formulary. 

Some of the Solutions, however, are dis- 
pensed as prepared from the formulae. 

It is advisable to keep on hand such of the 
Solutions as may be wanted to combine with 
other preparations, as they can then be used 
quickly and readily in the desired combina- 
tions. 

The relative proportion of the Solution to 
the material is given under each article. 

601. Solution Citrate of Bismuth. 

Take of Citrate of Bismuth and 

Ammonium, 8 ounces, 

Hot Water, 8 " 

Water of Ammonia, q. s., 

(about 1 ounce.)

it gradually in small portions to the Hot 
Water, rubbing it to a uniform consistency ; 
then add enough Aqua Ammonia, (about one 



188 tenner's formulary. 

ounce, 4/.), to make clear, and Water enough 
to make the measure a pint ; filter. 

Use two minims of this Solution for each 
grain of the Salt directed in the Formulae. 

Remark. — The Citrate of Bismuth and Am- 
monium contains more or less free Ammonia, 
according to its age, exposure, etc., eonse- 
quently no definite directions can be given in 
regard to the amount of Aqua Ammonia to 
be added. It requires enough to make the 
Solution clear or nearly clear, but it must not 
be so much in excess as to have much odor 
of Ammonia when finished. It should be 
added gradually until this end is attained. 

602, Solution Citric Acid. 

Take of Citric Acid, ■ 8 ounces, 

Hot Water, 8 " 

Dissolve the Acid in the Water, and make 
up the measure with water to a pint.

Remark, — This can be used as Red Ink by 
diluting one-half with Gum Water. 

606. Solution Carbolic Acid. 

Take of Carbolic Acid Crystals, 1^- ounces, 
Gl}'cerin, 

Water, each a sufficient 
quantity. 

Dissolve the Acid in two ounces of Glyc- 
erin, and add water enough to make the 
measure fourteen ounces. If the Solutionis 
then clear, add two ounces more of water, and 
filter ; but if it should be " milky," add 
enough Gtycerin to make it clear, and Water 
enough to make the measure a pint, and filter. 

Each fluid-drachm contains fiye grains Car- 
bolic Acid. 

Remark. — Owing to the difference in the 
quality of acid used, the proportion of Glyc- 
erin will be variably ranging from two to four 
ounces.

up the measure with Warm Water to a pint. 



204 eenner's formulary. 

Each four minims of this Solution contains

Remark 1. — A Solution of Pyrophosphate 
of Iron may be made half-and-half Water 
and Iron, but it is too thick for ordinary uses. 

Remark 2 — It may sometimes be necessary 
to add more Aqua Ammonia to the Solution 
to prevent gelatinizing, especially if the heat 
be long continued, in dissolving the Iron. 

The Sugar separates the particles of Iron, 
making it more readily Soluble.

SYRUPS. 
@40. The Syrups 

for which the following Formulae are given, 
have mostly come into general use and fa- 
vor, although there are no recognized Form- 
ulae for their preparation. 

By keeping on hand the Flavored Syrup, 
most of the preparations can be made in a 
moment by simply adding the required Salts 
or Solutions ? and it is hardly advisable to 
keep them on hand in large quantities. 

The beauty of a Sj r rup depends upon its 
brilliancy and clearness. A Syrup may be 
strained through flannel or muslin, or can be 
slowly filtered through cotton or paper. 
Straining is usually sufficient. 

Most Syrups are better made cold, and it 
will be found much less troublesome to make 
them so than to employ heat. Made in this 
manner, the} T keep better, and never crystallize. 

The Sugar can be percolated with the Water 
and other Menstrua in the same manner as 
an ordinary drug. If the Solution is not at 
first complete, run the Menstruum again 
through the Sugar until perfectly dissolved. 

The Flavored Syrup can be used with ad- 
vantage as a base for the officinal Syrups, and

some of the processes here employed may be 
profitably adopted.

two pints of the Water, rubbing thoroughly, 
filter, and add the balance of the Water 
through the filter. Put the Sugar in a per- 
colator, and percolate with the filtrate until 
completely dissolved. 

Remark — This is the base of most of the 
Syrups, and. can also be used as " Simple 
Syrup " to advantage. It will keep better 
than the latter, and being nicely flavored, it 
presents a fine vehicle for administering un- 
pleasant medicines.

WINES. 

700. The Wines to be Used. 

A good quality of Sherry or Angelica 
Wine should be used when wine is directed 
in these preparations. Of course their ex- 
pense will depend in a great measure upon 
the quality of the Wine used. While it is not 
advisable to select a costly, old wine, one 
of known purity and good body should be 
used. Many of the manufacturers use a very 
inferior quality of Wine, hence their prepa- 
rations spoil, or are unsatisfactory. 

A very sour Wine is not admissible. 

701. Henioving Tannin from Wine. 

When the Wine, desired to be used, con- 
tains Tannin, [which can be ascertained by 
testing with Tincture Muriate of Iron, as 
directed (23)], treat each gallon with one- 
quarter ounce Gelatine, dissolved in two 
ounces Hot Water and added. Allow to stand 
twenty-four hours, and filter. Should Tannin 
remain, it must be again treated with a like 
portion.

760, 

The following Formulae will seem superflu- 
ous to many druggists old in the business, 
but to another class they will be found valua-

day use, for which there are no authoritative

They are consequently submitted, trusting 
that the space they occupy will not be found
